Yeah, I got this "multiple spaces" thing when I selected fonts that
were proportional instead of fixed-width (or whatever it's called).

I begin to consider it a bug that the proportional ones show up on the
list of fonts you can use, because I'm fed up of doing this by accident.
I now have a list of about three fonts I know which work and which are
painless on my eyes, and I stick to those :)
